You can't be serious. Dude, they invented overseas slave-labor outsourcing AND overzealous litigation, not to mention their truly abysmal business practices (rewriting history and/or classic literature to fit their ideals, vaulting their product, etc. etc.). Yes, they are good to their performers and gave you a chance to bang princesses all day, but don't pretend they're a "good" company just because you struck it lucky.
What type of car do you drive?

Bang is a watered-down version. The cards in Bang usually force you to reveal your motivations pretty early-on, so the game is a little less psychological and more mechanical.

Plus there's the whole fuck-RNG-the-sheriff-is-on-horse-sitting-between-two-deputies thing.

But like bang, independent factions are a thing in Mafia. The most common is the Serial Killer, who has a nightkill but no team to support him. His wincon is usually to be the last man like, like Bang's renegade.

The game pits an uninformed majority team ("town") against an informed minority team ("mafia"). The town wins when all mafia are dead, and the mafia wins when they control a majority of the game. Mafia are aware of each other's existence and know they are playing as a team. A town individual knows nothing except his own role.

Play is broken into two primary phases: day & night. During the day phase, all players speak to each other and the town attempts to root out mafia members. A lynch requires the majority of players to place their vote on a target. At night, town members go to sleep and are unable to communicate with each other. Mafia select a member of the town to slaughter overnight, and then the game continues to next day phase.
n
Role with different powers are thrown into the mix. A doctor, for example, is a town role that wakes up at night and selects a protective target. If the mafia attempt to kill the protected player, the kill will fail. A mafia setup can emphasize deductive reasoning with tons of interactive roles, or focus entirely on psychological play in an all-vanilla game ("mountainous").

tl;dr come play with us :D

I like when people not only expect you to look up prices on your phone for them, but also require seeing it as if you're going to lie about what the site says.
I would totally lie to their face. Asperger's is awesome for this because I don't think they can ever tell.
Have you ever played face-to-face mafia? Our group of friends gets together and plays pretty regularly in Raleigh.
